Does anyone know how svea is doing now? She hasn’t posted in a long time her story was one that gave me so much hope, I’m interested to see how the Effexor is still working.
You may have TMJ, which is usually caused by the person clenching their teeth in their sleep. Many people do that without realizing it. The symptoms you've been describing are all symptoms of TMJ. Many people get migraines from it and it can cause vertigo since the ear is so close to the temporomandibular joint. I've been struggling with it for about 4 years and have made a lot of progress. If TMJ is the cause of your headaches and vertigo, those symptoms will likely improve or go away with treatment.
There are several different treatments, but no single treatment works for everyone. It's a lot of trial and error. If you go to a dentist that treats TMJ, they may give you a bite splint or an NTI device that you'd wear at night. Both devices work by reducing the amount of muscle activity you can generate when clenching. In my case, I suffered from tinnitus, constant dizziness, pain in my face, nausea, and a jaw that clicked. At first, I didn't believe that I was clenching in my sleep until I recorded myself sleeping and actually saw it. Unfortunately, a bite splint alone wasn't enough to get rid of my symptoms, though it did help. At one point, the dizziness and tinnitus got so bad that I couldn't function. In a desperate attempt to get my life back, I started taping my nose closed at night in order to force myself to breath through my mouth. After a few days, I noticed that my symptoms had improved some. It has now been about 8 months since I started taping my nose at night. Ever since, I have been consistent about taping my nose and using a bite splint. I also take a muscle relaxer before going to bed. Over that time, my symptoms have gone from being unbearable and life altering to being tolerable and more mild. The muscle tension is mostly gone, the tinnitus is quieter, and the dizziness is about 90% better. TMJ is unfortunately very common and many people don't even realize they have it. Most doctors are not well-versed in the huge list of symptoms people can experience and often overlook it when diagnosing patients with symptoms such as migraines and/or vertigo. Technically, TMJ falls within the realm of dentistry, but most people don't think about seeing a dentist for their headaches. Hence, it often goes undiagnosed.
Not necessarily. Some people with TMJ have headaches without the facial pain. You may have something else, since not all migraines are caused by TMJ. However, if you start noticing your jaw clicking or you start noticing muscle tension in your face, then it might not be a bad idea to get that checked out.
Gary Marple I do occasionally have muscle pain in my jaw and cheeks. And my jaw clicks in the morning only. Not sure where to start should I enquire around my local dentists?
Great job on the studio! I was wondering what your Effexor doseage is and if your still seeing benefits from the medication. Thank you I love your videos

Gary Marple I don’t have facial pain or tinnitus. Does this mean I probably don’t have TMJ?
